Apple likely has a couple of various statements on tap for its occasion in San Francisco, next Tuesday, October 22, judging by the invitation gotten by press. We will be there live to tell you exactly what’s being revealed as it’s being revealed, but for now, we are making forecasts based upon available information just like everyone else. Right here’s a breakdown of what we expect to potentially see next week, and how most likely it’s we will see it.

New iPads

First on the list are new tablets from Apple, and it’s a near-certainty we will see those next week. The iPad lineup was last refreshed around this time last year, and there’s a bunch of expectancy in specific around the iPad mini, which lots of are expecting can get an update to a high resolution, Retina-syle screen.

The newest rumors recommend that the iPad mini’ll undoubtedly get a Retina upgrade, doubling pixel density (which will in truth make it even sharper than the Retina iPad 4th generation, thanks to the smaller screen). To offset that, the small iPad is reportedly going to gain some weight: around 0.3 mm, according to the current. That’d have to do with half the extra weight the third-generation iPad needed to put on over the iPad 2 when it got Retina powers, and in both cases, the reason for any boost would be to stuff a bigger battery within the shell.

New iPad minis couldn’t simply been available in Retina flavor, and we have heard some tip that Retina models will be in incredibly brief supply at launch and into next year. In either case, I ‘d still anticipate a high density screen iPad mini to make its inaugural look next week, potentially with a fingerprint sensor like the one on the iPhone Fives consisted of.

The full-size iPad is aiming to get an upgrade, too, per reports. This one can actually burn fat and girth compared with its predecessor, as it handles a look more like the iPad mini (with narrower bezels). Leaked photos have actually declared to reveal space gray as well as gold variations of all of the new iPads, and again, finger print sensors are a possibility for the high end 9.7-inch variation.

New iPads will most likely retain the price points of their predecessors, and go on sale around a week after the occasion, potentially with pre-orders beginning on the Friday of next week.

New MacBook Pros

The MacBook Pro is due for an upgrade, and the Retina versions of those notebooks are apparently in line to get one. The vital function being discussed around these new models is Intel’s Haswell generation of processors, which were added to the MacBook Air earlier this year. Haswell provides substantial perks in terms of power consumption, which may want to assist any brand-new MacBook Pros we see stretch their battery life into the 10-12 hour variety.

Most reports concur that when these MacBook Pros get their updates, we’ll not see the non-Retina variations also updated, those will rather continue to be offered, however it’s possible Apple is looking towards phasing them out at some point in favor of the higher-res versions. If that holds true, we could see further rate cuts on the base level Retina Pros, and I ‘d also anticipate graphics card renovations, full HD web cams and 802.11 ac Wi-Fi support, based upon additions made to the just recently freshened iMacs and MacBook Airs.

These are likewise almost a shoe-in, and may even go on sale right away after or quickly following their statement.

New Mac Pro

Apple’s new Mac Pro is not really a technique, since Apple made the unusual step of revealing it well prior to its release back in June at its yearly Worldwide Developers Conference. However the professional-level desktop OS X computer that changes the aging aluminum model still has not received a main release date or cost.

The redesigned Mac Pro bears little resemblance to the device it’s replacing: a smooth black cylinder, using up about 1/4 of the space of the old variation, is all that continues to be. But that diminutive canister belies remarkable specs under the hood, as Apple has put dual workstation GPUs capable of supporting multiple 4K screens, an Intel Xeon E5 processor with up to 12 cores available, much faster RAM and even more inside. It’s all designed around a heat-dissipating center with a single fan, and the focus is on external growth through Thunderbolt 2, USB 3, Ethernet and HDMI, as opposed to on internal customizability like with the old model.

Apple has actually said only that it would ship in ‘fall,’ while also exposing it would be produced in the UNITED STATE We’ve actually heard that it could start offering in November, according to the latest reports. No word yet on price, however expect it to be costly, as this is certainly intendeded for those with professional-level needs.

OS X Mavericks

Apple’s newest OS is almost ready to deliver, having struck GM condition in the pre-release developer builds recently. We’ve actually also heard that Apple has actually asked developers to begin submitting apps for Mavericks. Anticipate it to ship in time for the arrival of brand-new Retina MacBook Pros, if not in the past, and as always, look for Apple to offer no-charge upgrade offers for people who have just recently purchased brand-new Macs, consisting of the rejuvenated iMac.

The cost on OS X updates dropped from $29.99 for OS X Lion, to $19.99 for OS X Mountain Lion, so it’s possible we could see another drop, however Snow Leopard and Lion maintained the same pricing, so Apple can easily keep the $20 fee, since it’s already rather reduced as it is.

Apple TV

There’s broach an Apple TV refresh, but the reports suggest this will be an evolutionary change to the streaming media box Apple currently provides, not the mythical Apple television that’s been gone over for ages. There’s no word on what precisely that might entail, beyond the typical processor upgrade, however our own factor MG Siegler has actually recommended there will be reason for excitement from upgraded hardware in the Apple TV product line at some point this month.

As constantly, expect a minimum of some surprises, and join us next week as we cover the action live.
